Fat_slayer 4th Gear July 1, 2021 Share July 1, 2021 When I was a teenager, after i had ordered food, the hawker will deliver to our table (they have good memories). After that, we begin to queue up and self-service at the stalls. Now we also have to self-service return of trays. In 10 years' time, we might have to self-service wash our own utensils??!! Btw, i was at Whampoa hawker centre yesterday, while i notice that the plates etc, were generally cleared from tables, sauces, gravies still remained on the tables. The next users have to clean up before having their meals.... cleaners are nowhere to be seen. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By right they say need to clear your table, meaning is to clear utensils, tray and also clean off any food leftover and also sauce left on the table as well lo. So as next user will have a clean table to use. But too bad people clearing table for the sake of doing it only. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plates and cutlery are left on the table. 😂 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No signs, nobody returning trays, and so long I haven't sit down to have a meal, of cuz out of habit I left it there as the cleaner is always moving around to clear trays. That was at Jl Kukoh. Over at Whampoa, my brother (he has a stall there) feedback to me, the cleaners just sit down and didn't clean tables, bcuz people were returning trays. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the return tray campaign dont really work well. Ended patrons return tray but no clean up the table, and cleaners thought now no need to clean tables liao since people are returning their tray?! 😅 Think make the situation become worst than better! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellandross Supersonic July 4, 2021 Share July 4, 2021 I don't understand what's the obsession with analysing the psychology behind tray returns since the regulation started. I've been returning trays since there were shelves made available once upon a time. I also have friends who don't which is fine by me. I do the same whether I'm with friends or not. They may follow my act or they don't but I really don't care. My point is there seems to be lots of weird teenager angst brewing in the minds of full grown adults about this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who is driving this change…. For me, the biggest adv is less food for the birds. I find it very disgusting birds will eat leftover food on the tables….
